half. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Shape each half into 9 balls. Place
balls, 3 inches apart, on greased baking sheets. With fingers, flatten each
to 3 1/2-inch circle. Cover; let rise till double (about 45 minutes). Make
a depression in center of each ball. Fill depression with Apricot Filling.
Bake at 375 for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from baking sheets; cool. Dust
lightly with powdered sugar.

APRICOT FILLING: Mix 1 cup snipped dried apricots and enough water to come
1 inch above apricots. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes; drain. Stir in 1/4 cup
granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon butter, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
